Little Omphile Tswai is barely of school-going age, but can read long sentences and complicated words. pretorianews

Pretoria - Little Omphile Tswai is barely of school-going age, but can read long sentences and complicated words. The Pretoria News caught up with the child born with impeccable intelligence traits at his aunt’s home in Mabopane. He turns 3 on July 27.

Omphile started off with A is for Apple scribbled in typical childish writing. When he got to G, he said “G is for Glove”. He then proceeded all the way to Z for Zebra. “He started murmuring slightly fluent words when he was aged just 8 months. When he was a year and two months old, he showed us what we have never seen from a kid at his age. He would wake up late at night or in the morning and voiced out different colours such as orange and geometric shapes, including rectangle, circle and others.

“We started noticing he was different when he had no interest in playing with other children. He prefers spending most of his time with older companions or adults, indoors on his education board, or on YouTube watching learning videos for toddlers.”

Poor African countries are a natural disaster away from a crisis“With the exception of South Africa, African countries have done relatively little to contribute to climate crisis yet are being severely affected and have little to no resources to cope with the aftermath” They have far bigger challenges & small budgets. Climate change is last on their priority list. Poverty, inequality & joblessness is what they prioritise albeit corruption. High emitting developed & emerging economies should do more towards climate adaptability.
